FOREWORD
N PRESENTING ''Men of Hawaii" to the public
— a public considerably wider than the bounds of
the Territory — its editors and publishers have a two-
fold purpose.
First, the book is a standard reference work, compre-
hensive, complete and authoritative. It is a publication compiled
with a care and a system of collectmg information which in-
sures its accuracy and insures also that justice is done to its
subject. It is a reference volume presenting biographically
pertinent facts about the men of Hawaii who lead in their
respective fields. In general these fields are the business or
commercial, the professional, the educational, the religious and
the scientific — covering all activities which in Hawaii have
brought its men to the front as potent and constructive factors
in their communities.
Secondly, the book is a series of milestones of achieve-
ments. It has been truly said that the progress of any gener-
ation, of any century, of any country, of any nation may be
measured by the biographies of its men. In Hawaii this is
true today as in ancient Greece, medieval Rome, modern
France, or England, or the mainland United States.
Hawaii is a modern American community with its roots
far back in the past. Here the primitive life of Polynesia has
been moulded and modified by the influx of many races, bloods
and languages. Here the zeal for public service, for moral
enlightenment, of the New England churchman has brought a
missionary influence which nearly a century back paved the
way for the outside world of trade and commerce, of educa-
tion, of latter-day customs, manners and facilities. The mission
ships of the '20's of the last century pioneered a pathway across
the Pacific followed by the whalers of restless industry, and
53r9G
later the steamers of many nations cleaved the summer seas on
their way to and from the island ports. With varying ex-
periences, Hawaii developed industrially under a monarchical
form of government, with the new populations — American,
English, German, French and the like — fusing into the very
blood of the country.
Industrially and socially, the progress of Hawaii has been
amazing. In a century it has leaped from a more than
medieval obscurity and isolation into an intensively organized,
modernly-equipped American commonwealth, the most nearly
self-governing of all territories, with cities and towns, every
public utility, a high degree of popular education, an active
part as an integral member of the American political family.
Its raw sugar industry — the backbone of commerce — is the
world's model in efficiency of production. It is a community
of schools, churches, homes, factories, agriculture, street cars,
electric lights, chambers of commerce and boards of trade,
up-to-date newspapers, paved roads, great hotels — in fact,
it is a twentieth century American community.
Here social service and intelligent philanthropy go hand
in hand with highly organized industry. The traditions of
unselfish usefulness brought with the earliest white residents
remain, translated into terms of a later era. The most striking
political development of this present generation — the transition
from a monarchy to an American territory — has been also
the most striking period of growth in widely varied forms of
social service.
The men whose portraits and biographies make up this
book are the men whose activities and influence have brought
about this great and permanent change in the Hawaii of the
past fifty years. Some of them — many of them — are sons
of Hawaii, born in the Islands, perhaps with fathers and grand-
fathers born here. Others have come from elsewhere, adding
new blood, adding energy and ideas.
"Kamaaina" or "malihini" — oldtimer or newcomer — each
is doing his part in the Hawaii of today.
